Energy Credit Union is warning its members to be aware of fraudulent cellular phone messages/SMS allegedly from the Energy Credit Union. Some of our members are receiving cellular phone message/SMS telling them that there is a Pending Alert on Their Debit Card and to call (404) 891-1102.
 

Please do not respond or provide any information!

Above mentioned cellular phone messages/SMS aren't originating

from Energy Credit Union!

Energy Credit Union will NEVER ask you for sensitive information

by cellular phone message/SMS!

This is obviously a phishing attempt!

Phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as Credit card or account details, usernames, passwords, etc. by masquerading as a trustworthy entity (e.g. our Credit Union) in an electronic communication (phone, fax, e-mail, etc.).

If you have received suspicious cellular phone message/SMS,

please report it to us at 617.325.1999.
